Returning to his roots in LacLaBiche, he bought land in order to fulfil his life long dream of building a home with his own two hands, which he accomplished by doing much of the work himself. He loved his family; his dear friend, Brenda; his home; his two dogs, Coco and Poot; and his cat and her kittens. Coco and Poot were devoted to him and the protectors of the acreage from all sorts of wild life. He loved his community, Normadeau, had many friends and neighbours, all who helped and supported him when he fell ill – they and the community meant so much him.
